Give that like button a wee tickle, then let me know which one of these super budget audio interfaces get YOUR vote!

This video is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you so much for putting this together! Subbed! 🤘

[christofererin]

Terrific help and info for any musician, but for this comment, I'm a 70-year-old songwriter with some marketable songs. Tips from this guy are great!

[JohnPaulMusicUK]

Brilliant video and great breakdown 👍🏻
Love my Arturia MiniFuse 2. It’s a little more but has a few tricks up it’s sleeve.
But wow, never been a better time! Remember when you needed a ‘studio’!?! 😉

Excellent review! 👍 I bought the M-Track Duo 8 months ago and I just realized that weird issue when you turn the input gain above 9, 5. 🤦🏻‍♀ Still, I think it's a great interface for the price.

[juhotuho]

perfect, just what i was looking for!

[bensauer]

@TheGaragebandGuide very useful review! Do you know if the M-audio works as a pre-amp without being plugged into a laptop? I’d like to use it with my MPC, standalone(with some USB power, of course!)

[LuoGuanzhong]

Thanks Patrick. I looked up the Blue Cat frequency analyser that you used also after watching. Seemed very useful.

[mobypixel]

Great shootout! The M-Track seemed more transparent to my ears.

[NinetyRalph]

Thanks for the comparison, great video, keep it up! :)

Also, how about the M-Track AIR 192? Can you tell me something about it?

[DAVIDHERNANORDONEZCHAVEZ-igce]

Want to run an Alesis E-Drum kit into computer, and then run that audio into the mixer and then to PA system; do I need an audio interface right?

And if so, which would provide the best q quality sound through the Pa, without any latency at all?

sir kindly help me how to import audio in m audio solo software mpc beats and record the same karaoke

[JandeBloois]

I listened carefully with my new Sennheiser HD 300, which recently replaced my old and beloved HD 480. The M-Track Solo is the winner for me also. The noise level is lower, and the overall sound quality is 'crispier'. Thanks for testing. I use my iRig Keys I/O 25 as audio interface and midi controller.

[mohamedsaid]

can i ask a very dumb question if i get a xlr to 1/4" can i use the guitar input as a 2nd mic input?

[gsxerwhite]

I went with M-Audio because I really liked the old M-Audio midi keyboard I used to own.

[jcaiwa]

As they say, "Buy it nice, or buy it twice° - Thanks Patrick!

[MCAQUIN]

Behringer UMC202HD or the m track duo? which is better for duo podcast quality?

[smokeclouds]

How do i get distortion with mtrack interface

[rishabhaavijayarangan]

the pops an clicks are related to there not being any dedicated drivers for the UM2 as only the UMC204 and above have dedicated drivers that eliminate pops and clicks and low buffer sizes. Coincidentally there exists another driver for an old interface of behringers that just so happens to be compatible with the UM2 which solved he pops and clicks and allowed me to have extremely low buffer sizes(49samples) and a latencyof about 7ms.

Hi Patrick, is it posible to cover iRig Pro Quattro VS Arturia MiniFuse 4?
By the way looks completely different with hair 😂 I used to have long hair before as well!
